Frontenac Metro: Immigrant Workers and Phillips Square

frontenac metro: Held annually in cities around the world in support of workers' rights, the Montreal May Day event began in two places at Phillips Square and Frontenac Metro, according to CTV. The two separate protests joined at about 7 15 p.m. Historically, May Day was actually organized by immigrant workers in Chicago in 1886, so it's been a day where immigrants and migrants come together in solidarity with other parts of society and highlight those issues they face, said demonstrator Mustafa Henaway. Demonstrators were fighting to increase the minimum wage to 15 per hour the minimum wage climbed on May 1 by 50 cents to 11.25 per hour. The problem is capitalism, colonialism, racism. For those people who are here and working, we need to bump up the minimum wage, we need to tax corporations and fundamentally change society, said demonstrator Jaggi Singh.
